I stamped the worm and the apple from the Beyond Measure stamp set and colored them with Copic markers and die cut them out. I used the inner frame from the Picture Frame dies on white card stock, I took the squares that it cut out and splattered them with a little Distress Ink, I have a problem with white space! I then used the same die on blue card stock and paper pieced the white splattered squares back into place. I placed the worm and apple in the spaces with some foam tape for a little dimension. I finished with regular enamel dots.

I placed this on an A1 card base so it's a bit smaller than a normal card.

I printed the Summer bunny digi out and colored him with colored pencils and used a Fancy frame die to trim him down to size. I put him on the side of the base panel so that I could add the sentiment from the Summer Lovin' stamp set right on to the base panel.

I cut out the banner from the Party dies in a metallic blue paper and placed it at the top and finished my card off with some glitter sprinkles.

I used Look For The Miracles SSS stamp set, I stamped the flowers and the leaves with versa mark and clear heat embossed on a Tim Holtz watercolor panel. I colored with distress inks and spritzed with some perfect pearl water and did a little water distressing.

The sentiment is a mix of MFT Simply Fab Sayings and Lawn Fawn Monster Mash and Year Two. I stamped it in SSS black ink. I die cut the panel down and put it on a purple glitter panel.

I printed her out on watercolor paper, colored her with Zig Clean Color markers and cut her out. I used the CDD Outdoor Landscape die and cut three layers of waves from patterned paper and cut two from vellum. I put the layers on a plain white cardstock and then used the CDD Fancy Frames die to cut down the top panel that I placed on a bottom purple panel.

I inserted Gertie, thats what I am calling her, under the top vellum wave.

I cut the splish splash square from one of the papers from the under the sea paper pack and also a cute little turtle and also placed it under the top vellum layer! I finished it off with some matte sprinkles.

Here's what I've created for you...

I created this weekly planner spread using the new Plan It Out set.

I was able to use the Plan It Out set for my entire weekly spread! I have a birthday, pay day, and a doctors appointment. I do daily meal planning, track my water intake and fitness routine. I also have some weekly duties like grocery shopping and cleaning around the house that all have coordinating stamps.

I also added other decorative stamping to my week using the Magical Wishes and Enchanted Tales Stamp Sets. Its so great that you can use these other stamps with the planner set. I filled in all my information and colored my images with Zig Clean Color markers.

I have a card for you today with lots of little additions using the Fair Fun stamp set.

Here is what I made!

I used orange paper for my base panel. I die cut a white panel using the Crazy Stitched Frame dies. I then flicked that with red and orange Distress Ink.

I stamped the fair booth separately and cut it out by hand.

I used Glossy accents on the bottles, glitter stickles on the row of circles and some of the CDD Star Sequins in orange on the canopy. Those sequins are my favorite! And they come in five colors!

I used the Greeting word dies to cut out the word Totally. I cut it 3 times and stacked it up for some dimension on my card. I also coated it with about 3 layers of my Wink of Stella pen for some super shimmer!
